The greatest Niger fan you can find - this blond Scandinavian cannot think of a better way to live her life than working for Eden Foundation in the Tanout zone. This blog is about living life as an unpaid volunteer, trying to make the best out of every day (sometimes possible, sometimes not) while helping the people of the least developed area of the least developed country in the world achieve a sustainable life.

Meet Haruna of Maradi

This week, we had a visitor from Maradi. Meet Haruna, an American expat TCK (and MK) who grew up in Jos (Nigeria) and who is now back in West Africa for a year long term of agricultural volunteer work. Although Nettus and I have been busy at work, we took turns to show him Zinder. He got to ride the horses (loved the gallop - but hey, what did you expect!) and when I fell sick, Nettus took him out on a long bike ride on a never ending gravel roads.

There may not be as much to do in Zinder as elsewhere in the world, but the landscape is beautiful!

And I think Haruna had a nice time. Who knows, maybe one day he'll blog about it? :-) If he does, I'll post you the link!

About Me

Result of the eighties, multilingual TCK with background in the Mediterranean Sea (Cyprus), North- and West Africa and Sweden; slightly rootless but heavy on life experiences, great passion for human development, always on the lookout for the Little Things in Life. Adore all things canine (with a particular interest in Rhodesian ridgebacks and Azawakhs), Zinder bush trail rides on diligent barb horses, the discoveries of the tasteful Lost Treasures of Eden & helping the poorest of the poor achieve a sustainable life. Claimed by an RR named Sheba.
